      To Steve's wife Mary for her patience and support during the long process of
      converting spreadsort from a piece of C code to a template library.
    </p>
<p>
      To Phil Endecott and Frank Gennari for the improvements they've suggested and
      for testing. Without them this would have taken longer to develop or performed
      worse.
    </p>
<p>
      To Scott McMurray for the fast and safe <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">float_mem_cast</span></code>.
      That fix was critical for a high-performance cross-platform __float_sort.
    </p>
<p>
      To Paul A. Bristow for refactoring the initial documentation to use Quickbooks.
    </p>
<p>
      To Steven Watanabe, Edouard Alligand, and others in the boost community for
